It was not the first time someone had come calling this week. Viktoria was starting to think she had become quite the popular clan representative (or other some such ridiculousness) in her time faffing about with the snow dragging the entire city down.
Her little human bug was supposed to be here later - if travel (and her husband) permitted, of course - which meant the large home needed to be heated sufficiently. At least the rooms in which they'd frequent. The fireplaces are lit, the gas stoves are on. Central heating and air was a blessing, but she often opted for cozy and classic. And, well, it wasn't quite as reliable with the power flickering as it tended to do with the pile ups of snow drift around their home.
She opens the door with a smile. It quickly fades as shock takes over. It's not that she isn't glad to see her brother, it's that she wasn't expecting him. Or the pile of crumpled human in his arms. Her gaze dips down to the shock of brown hair, and the bleeding on her neck.
For a moment, she forgets herself and nearly goes to grab the woman - Sadie, is she okay? What did you do? - from him, but stops. Instead, her hand finds her pocket. Her fingers find her phone, and without looking, she taps a quick warning to the youngest sibling: He's home.
"Zakarias." She finally says, no breath for sighs or shock. But she does step forward and kiss his cheek in greeting. "..I was expecting - Well. Her." She looks down towards the bleeding woman.
